DESCRIPTI0N
The Model ORS-300 reed switch is available to augment the control
capabilities of Orions extensive line of magnetic level indicators.
Housed in an explosion proof stainless steel enclosure, the ORS-300
mounts to the outside of the MLI via clamps. This mounting style
allows addition or repositioning of switches at any time, without
disruption of the process.
Each switch is designed for optimal repeatability and reliability. The
magnetic field produced by the MLI float actuates the ORS-300 when
the liquid level moves the float into the proximity of the reed switch.
The switch is bi-stable, so it will not reset until the floats magnetic
field passes it in the opposite direction.
